Half lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold

Dae Ho Jin

Abstract

We study half lightlike submanifold $M$ of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold such that its structure vector field is tangent to $M$. First we study the general theory for such half lightlike submanifolds. Next we prove some characterization theorems for half lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite generalized Sasakian space form.

Keywords: indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold, half lightlike submanifold, screen conformal, totally umbilical, screen totally umbilical
